Summary
Abstract: Cores collected from recent drilling in western Cape Cod, Massachusetts provide insight into the topography and petrology of the underlying bedrock. Cores from 64 drill sites spread over a ~140 km2 study area produced samples of granitoids (31), orthogneisses (20), basalts/diabases (4), amphibolites (3), felsic mylonites (2), and dolomitic rock (2). Granitoid composition ranges from granite to ... View entire text

Purpose: The purpose of this data layer is to provide those interested in the composition and character of the bedrock beneath western Cape Cod with the ability to examine the well logs and sample descriptions in a geographic context.
